When exporting to a netgroup, we need ypbind to be running before NFS is started. There's no dependency in the init script to ensure that this happens. So, when the server is rebooted, exportfs doesn't export anything sensible and all the clients get stale nfs file handles. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Export a directory on the server to a netgroup. 2.Mount it on a client in the netgroup. 3.Reboot the server 4.Try to access the mount on the client. Actual Results: stale NFS file handle errors, solved by remounting on the client or running exportfs -r on the server. Expected Results: worked! The fix is simple - add the following line into /etc/init.d/nfs in the depend() function, after the "need" line: use ypbind emerge info output (some details obscured): Portage 2.0.50-r11 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.3.4, glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r1, 2.4.26- gentoo-r9) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.26-gentoo-r9 i686 Pentium III (Katmai) Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r5 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=i686 -funroll-loops -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/ config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=i686 -funroll-loops -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs buildpkg ccache sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" USE="apm arts avi berkdb bitmap-fonts crypt cups encode f77 foomaticdb gdbm gif gtk2 imlib jpeg kde libg++ libwww mad mikmod motif mpeg ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png python qt quicktime readline sdl slang spell ssl svga tcpd truetype x86 xml2 xmms xprint xv zlib"
